Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless chicken thighs or breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ cup yogurt adds creaminess
  • 2 tablespoons oil of choice for sautéing
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice brightens flavors
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon fenugreek
  • ½ teaspoon curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 onion sliced or chopped
  • 1 bell pepper sliced or chopped
  • 1 package slider buns (pack of 12)
  • 1-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or cheese of choice
  • ½ cup mayonnaise for sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup for sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce or sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced for topping
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro or parsley minced

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Baking sheet
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and all the spices. Stir until well blended. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken, onion, and bell pepper. Cook for about 7-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the slider buns in half and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Combine the melted butter and minced garlic, and brush this mixture over the cut sides of the buns. Bake for about 5-7 minutes until lightly toasted.
  5. Once the buns are toasted, layer the cooked chicken and veggie mixture on the bottom halves. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and a dollop of the prepared sauce. Place the top halves of the buns on each slider.
  6. Serve the sliders warm, garnished with minced cilantro or parsley. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
